“TO THE TOP” is a portrayal of 7 beautiful and perfectly flawed young women, all with the amazing gift of song and dance, who embark on a 12 week journey to compete for 4 spots in Star Factory’s new superstar girl group. Upon the breakup of the country’s hottest unsigned girl group, BOi, visionary Brandon “Squeeze” Smith and his artist development experts decided to implement a formula that guarantee he finds the 4 most bionic songstresses in the Midwest.

After a massive audition, the 7 most talented girls, Candace, Koji, Brit, Asianae, Mez, Rianna and Ashley, were selected to endure a grueling 12 week boot camp designed by Smith to push the girls to the limit and groom them for stardom…. and ultimately see who has what it takes, to make it “ To The Top “.

We are looking to fill unpaid positions in the following areas

Personal Assistants: Everybody knows that assistants run company’s while the execs sit back and take all the credit. Well that’s not the case here at Star Factory, we WILL DEFINITELY give you credit!!

-Must have a bike, car or skateboard, a cell phone with cool games on it, a way with words, 90% of the people you meet must like you, an eye/ear for fashion and talent, and most importantly wake up every morning with a burning desire to explore and conquer the music industry.

A&R: Our A&Rs represent the frontline of customer service in discovering, consulting, and managing SF clients and artists. Our theory is that A&R’s must in essence possess psychic like abilities to gage readiness, dedication, likability and longevity of potential superstar talents…in addition to having an extraordinary eye and ear for talent.

-Must have Madonna, Billy Joel, R Kelly, and Flo Rida in your music collection, must have respect for 3 of Soulja Boy’s last 6 singles, must always wear nice kicks, must have strong relationship building skills, must keep a Coke and a smile, and must be the most likable person you know.

Promotions: All individuals in this department usually have stronger legs than lips. If Star Factory is the Bentley of Artist Development, then our promotions department is the high octane gas that is needed to fuel such a finely crafted machine.

-Must understand and believe in our 7 laws of promotion, must be able to manage, maintain and participate in an awesome street team, must also be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, must have the ability to be in 3 places at once, and possess the ultimate MAKE IT HAPPEN mentality.

Event Planning & Marketing: Our events division, headed by former Bad Boy exec, Andrena Hale, is poised to “redefine” the scope of event planning…literally, we just got off the phone with Webster’s Dictionary.

-Must be the coolest person you know, must have over 507 contacts in your phone, must exude swag and sexy, must know all the txt msg shorthand lol, be uber fashion forward, and must be relevant in all the social networking sites.

Creative Marketing: Advertising exec Gary Dahl, made over a million dollars selling Pet Rocks…..any more questions?? At Star Factory, we offer an amazing service, create incredible music, and promote phenomenal talents, all of which are relevant (more relevant than a pet rock) in today’s entertainment marketplace. So insert the next Gary Dahl (YOU) and Lets Make History!

-Must have been a world renown painter, poet, or philosopher in a previous life, must have had a lemonade stand as a youngster, must have the ability to think outside the box, must be a horrible speller, must have more than one favorite color, must think you have A.D.D. but not really because that would hinder your ability to become the next great marketing genius.

Operations: Operations is engine that makes this machine purr like a high octane vehicle. This is the department responsible for allowing all of the above departments to work in perfect cohesive euphoric harmony (real Brandy Full Moon-like harmony)

-Must possess a perfect blend of left and right brainedness (yes it’s a word because our marketing department just made it up), must be smarter than your parents, must actually like the word “work”, must know that the small things really matter, and be so organized that you have a Chip Clip™ for every bag of potato chips in your kitchen.

Multimedia: Each week our video production, graphic design, web programming, and creative marketing dept will be forced to talk, smile and create with each other in a plush conference room. The goal is to create continued fantablous brand awareness for the Star Factory name, our flagship service, Get Made, as well as our awesome staff of choreographers, stage coaches, and vocal trainers.

-Must have a genuine desire to grow and excel in the area of graphic, web and/or video, must have Nerd Swag™, must know why green is the most creative color, must own a very reliable computer/laptop and have a name for it like Voltar, and must have the hook up at the Mac Store.

PR: Publicists are like the choreographers of the business world, their job is to make companies and celebrities look like a million bucks! Since we already possess that golden image (wink), we are looking for future PR superstars who can help us maintain our über impressive public persona.

-Must understand smoke and mirrors, must have a penchant for big words, must enjoy the fact that we just said “penchant”, must be able to talk your way out of any speeding ticket, must overuse terms of endearment, and must mistakenly use this phrase when calling friends “are you on deadline?”

We are also looking for individuals who would excel in the areas of Sales, Merchandising, New Business Development, and Personal Styling/Imaging.

for only $25!! This PHOTO SHOOT is for former & current CLIENTS only!!

Our GLAM SQUAD of MAKE-UP ARTISTS & WARDROBE STYLISTS will be on staff to assist you!

SOOOO apparently some ARTISTS/DANCERS believe that the mantra “IMAGE IS EVERYTHING” is just a CLICHÉ… cliché or not, image is indeed EVERYTHING when it comes to BUILDING your BRAND in a competitive entertainment industry. Being just “PRETTY” or “handsome” is not enough to sell your image to RECORD COMPANIES or agencies. Finding a UNIQUE image that fits your GENRE of music, personality and age is a process that is ironed out through months of EXPERIMENTATION with different looks, PHOTOGRAPHERS, stylists and makeup artists. SUBSEQUENTLY, we have designed a cost EFFECTIVE way to assist our clients in finding and developing their STELLAR image!

* Please arrive before 6:30pm to ensure your photos will be taken.

* Those who need styling and or make-up must pre-register atleast one week in advance

* All images taken will be sent to your email via a hyperlink to Myron’s website.
